    T9 took significantly longer to type with. I rocked a flip phone and enjoyed how engaging t9 was and the added time cost acted as a buffer so that I was less likely to use the device for frivolous stuff.

      Are you referring to having to press the 2 key three times in order to type the letter c? Usually T9 refers to the type of predictive text where you can press just 43556 and the phone predicts that you are typing hello

      I was proficient at T9 in a way that I just haven’t been able to build with an onscreen keyboard. I endnup typingblikenthis because I can’t feel where the space bar is, and having to go back and fix everything is a pain. So you either end up incomprehensible or you turn on autocorrect and end up typing like ducking shot.
